Exam AZ-305 topic 4 question 31 discussion

The correct answer is C. Self-hosted Integration Runtime. The Self-hosted Integration Runtime is a component of Azure Data Factory (ADF) that allows ADF to access and transfer data securely from private networks, such as the network VM1 resides on. This service is needed when you have data stores and computes that are situated behind a corporate firewall or are otherwise not publicly accessible.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/concepts-integration-runtime The Integration Runtime (IR) is the compute infrastructure used by Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse pipelines to provide the following data integration capabilities across different network environments: Data Flow: Execute a Data Flow in a managed Azure compute environment. Data movement: Copy data across data stores in a public or private networks (for both on-premises or virtual private networks). The service provides support for built-in connectors, format conversion, column mapping, and performant and scalable data transfer. Activity dispatch: Dispatch and monitor transformation activities running on a variety of compute services such as Azure Databricks, Azure HDInsight, ML Studio (classic), Azure SQL Database, SQL Server, and more. SSIS package execution: Natively execute SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages in a managed Azure compute environment.

When you're copying data to and from data stores that are located on-premises or in a network with access control (for example, an Azure virtual network), you need to set up a self-hosted integration runtime.

According to the Microsoft documentation, a self-hosted integration runtime is used to move data between on-premises data sources and Azure data stores. In this case, VM1 running Windows Server 2019 could host the self-hosted integration runtime, allowing data files to be transformed and loaded to Azure Data Lake Storage through Azure Data Factory.
